Comanagement: Balancing Physician Independence and Integration

Shifting reimbursement models are making the economics of private practice significantly more challenging. As a result, there is a marked increase in the number of highly integrated arrangements forming between hospitals and physicians. Comanagement is emerging as a popular alignment option with the potential to increase physician participation and engagement in hospital service line performance and leadership while allowing them to maintain their independence. This webinar covers a number of topics related to comanagement, including an overview of the structure of typical comanagement models, a general approach to the development of an arrangement, and key legal and service line specific (e.g., orthopedics, cardiology) considerations.
